What is the September UFO

Yes we are more than half way through September I have have not blogged about the September UFO Challege. I feel like I've been on the run this entire month!

So here it is....

What does this mean for me? Well for sewing it is perfect as I have a fall project selected. I had one selected in August as well but did that get done? NO! At the rate September is flying by, it will be interesting to see if this gets done!

September is a bomber jacket for Madden. I have some of the yarn but not all. I am re-thinking about making this jacket or substituting another pattern where I actually have the yarn.

So August wasn't a total bust as I did get my knitting UFO done and not just one month of the UFO but another month of the UFO, which hasn't been selected yet! I posted this picture on Facebook and it was mentioned in their monthly LIVE session!

These hats will be going to our local chemo center to be distributed to those who might need a hat for the coming chilly days.

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic. But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again. There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant". There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized. At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated. We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

October UFO

Another month has started which means it's another UFO. I could get depressed about what I haven't been able to finish but instead I think I will be thankful for what I have finished! So with that, what's up for October? What does this mean for me? Well as far as sewing is concerned that means that my October UFO is the USA Map. I'd love to get this done and put it upstairs in my themed "vacation room". And what does it mean for knitting? I had chemo hats down but since those are all finished I modified my list to make knitted knockers. How appropriate for breast cancer awareness month! This challenge has been good and I have been to focus on things in my stash. Speaking of stash, Sherri from A Quilting Life blog had a great tutorial on a patchwork bag . I had some mini charm packs that I have been trying to figure out what to do with and this was the perfect project. Sew the squares together add...

My first "I made it" week!!

Well this was my very first "I made it" week and even though the weather wasn't the best I think it was a success. Friday was my last day and as you can see from the collage above this was my choice for the day: Looks a lot like the pattern right? This was so easy to put together especially since there wasn't a zipper. This was cut as a size 8, something that I am still not used to. I still add extra on the hips so I grade it out to a size 12. My daughter would say that my clothes are too loose but I would say that they are nice and comfy!! This pattern essentially has 2 collars to achieve the look. I skipped the pockets. I find that unless they are stitched down they usually add bulk to the sides. I realize that most people leave reviews on the pattern and that is something that I have neglected to do so here goes.... Pattern sizing: size 8 graded to a size 12'at the hips. Did it look like the photo/drawi...
